[News] Microsoft: Even If It's Not Broken, Fix It

Microsoft: Old Versions Are Rubbish

,----[ Quote ]
| Another sign that Microsoft have screwed up Office 2007. They admit
| that it's going to take the longest to learn for people that know the
| older versions best. Considering the interface for office has been
| nigh-on identical for the last 10 versions, a lot of people are going
| to find themselves going "where is feature x now?" I know that's what
| I'm experiencing with Office 2007. Moreover the people with the
| expensive certifications in programming Office are going to find
| themselves needing to enter into another long bout of (expensive)
| retraining.

Microsoft and the Broken Window Theory of Economics

,----[ Quote ]
| While we don't usually report on anything Microsoft related (as it's
| outside PCBurn's perview) this tidbit was too good for me to pass up.
| Microsoft is reporting (at El Reg) that by releasing an operating system
| it will magically create $40 Billion dollars rather than simply suck
| money out of Europe. They've done this by positing a story somewhat
| similar to the theory of "broken window" economics.

| In short form, a boy breaks a window and his father, the shop keeper,
| then has to have it replaced. It is a given to the people looking on
| the scene that this is good becuase it keeps the glazier employed in
| making windows.

Office 2007 may be Microsoft's Titanic: former Government IT boss

,----[ Quote ]
| Bill Gates has been talking up Office 2007 ahead of its business launch
| on November 30. However, the recently departed deputy CIO of one of
| Australia's biggest government Microsoft sites believes introducing
| the new version of Microsoft Office may be the company's biggest
| ever disaster.
